I've experimented a lot with low-carb foods to help with my gestational diabetes. Since my husband and I tend to eat more naturally ("real foods" or when not possible at least more natural -keeping at 5 ingredients or less). Low-carb has been a little more difficult. I have listed some recipes here that I have made. I generally listed foods that you could finally easily in he store while I tend to make most of them from scratch at home (ex: tortillas-I make them, but I simply suggested a low carb tortilla in the recipe to make it easier). I try to post most of what i make in the real foods section, so check that out if you want additional ideas!

Cream Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients: 2 oz cream cheese, 2 eggs, 1 packet stevia (or any artificial sugar-or real sugar since you have carbs to spare!)Directions: Mix together in blender. Let sit for a few mins to decrease bubbles. Cook on stove like you would a regualar pancake. Makes 4 small pancakes...total carbs-4g.Found this on Pinterest This was sooo good! Again, toppings can make the carbs go up if you need more. I topped it with a 1/2 cup of Breyers carb smart ice cream. You could top it with fruit, whipped cream/Cool Whip, or sugar free syrup. Definitely filling since it has lots of protein, but didnt make me feel sleepy like normal pancakes do!

Low Carb Pizza with mozzarella and goat cheese

Ingredients: one low carb tortilla, sauce, cheese, any toppings you desireDirections: spray pan with pam. top tortilla with sauce, cheese, and any other toppings you desire. Spray crust with pam. Put into oven or toaster oven for 5 mins. Enjoy! Total carbs-approx 20I really wanted pizza today so came up with this on a whim. I stopped mine with goat cheese. It was super yummy and ridiculously filling!! I may have to make it again for dinner! Add additional toppings if you need additional carbs
